With depression you have negative emotions, hating yourself, suicidal, etc Negative symptoms is just no emotions.

I prefer to have no emotions than having negative ones and be suicidal.

Oh ok, I have times of both so I guess I have both

Just get confused though bcuz some ppl say that depression also makes one feel empty (flat/dead) and borderline makes this too

So if I’m empty it could be either negatives or depression or borderline

So confusing!!

I believe in depression flat is mixed with negative emotions or maybe flat is just a transition to bad emotions in depression. In negative symptoms its flat all the time.

I think even doctors have a tough time diagnosing between the two. Lots of people get misdiagnosed with depression at the beginning of schizophrenia during the prodormal phase.
